Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a flood self-rescue system and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In modern society, cars have become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. They have greatly expanded people's activity radius and changed people's production and lifestyle. With the development of the economy and the advancement of science and technology, the popularity of cars is getting higher and higher, becoming an important link connecting social economy and consumer life. Cars are not only a means of transportation, but also a manifestation of a lifestyle. They meet people's needs for fast, comfortable and personalized travel.

[0003] However, the prevalence of car travel also brings some challenges, especially in extreme weather conditions. For example, waterlogging caused by thunderstorms may not only affect traffic, but also endanger people's lives. When some roads are seriously flooded, it may be difficult for cars to get out of trouble, which may endanger the safety of people in the car. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, one or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide a flood self-rescue system and a vehicle, which can provide assistance to vehicles in a flooded area to escape from a water environment.

[0005] On the one hand, the present disclosure provides a flood self-rescue system, which is applied to a vehicle, and includes a water level detection module, an information processing module and a tire exhaust module; the water level detection module is used to obtain water wading information of the vehicle and send the water wading information to the information processing module; the information processing module is used to receive the water wading information and generate at least one control instruction according to the water wading information; the tire exhaust module is used to receive the tire exhaust instruction sent by the information processing module and exhaust the tire gas of at least one tire of the vehicle according to the tire exhaust instruction, so that the vehicle obtains thrust to escape from the water on the road.

[0006] The flood self-rescue system provided by the present disclosure can accurately sense the depth of the vehicle entering the water by using the water level detection module. When the vehicle enters the water-logged area, the information processing module can generate effective control instructions according to the water-logged information. According to the tire exhaust instruction sent by the information processing module, the tire exhaust module can exhaust the tire gas of the vehicle, so that the vehicle can obtain the thrust to escape from the road water, which helps the vehicle to easily escape from the current water environment.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the tire exhaust module includes a controllable three-way valve, a module exhaust port, a module inflation port and a tire air port; the module exhaust port is connected to the controllable three-way valve, and is used to discharge the first gas in the internal space of the controllable three-way valve, so that the vehicle obtains the thrust to escape from the road water; the module inflation port is connected to the controllable three-way valve, and is used to supplement the internal space of the controllable three-way valve with a second gas, and the second gas is used to inflate the tire; the tire air port is connected to the controllable three-way valve, and is used for gas interaction between the tire and the internal space of the controllable three-way valve.

[0008] The setting of the controllable three-way valve, the module exhaust port and the module outlet port not only ensures the controllability and stability of the tire exhaust process, but also ensures that the exhausted tire can be easily re-inflated, thereby quickly restoring normal road driving function.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, discharging tire gas from at least one tire of the vehicle includes: closing the second valve of the controllable three-way valve connected to the module inflation port; after closing the second valve, opening the third valve of the controllable three-way valve connected to the tire air port; after opening the third valve, opening the first valve of the controllable three-way valve connected to the module deflation port.

[0010] Orderly execution of the opening or closing of different valves in the three-way valve can ensure the accurate execution of the tire exhaust action and improve the stability of the tire exhaust function.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, discharging tire gas of at least one tire of the vehicle according to the tire exhaust instruction includes at least one of the following: controlling the valve opening degree of the controllable three-way valve according to the tire exhaust instruction to discharge tire gas of at least one tire of the vehicle; controlling the valve opening duration of the controllable three-way valve according to the tire exhaust instruction to discharge tire gas of at least one tire of the vehicle.

[0012] By controlling the degree of valve opening, different degrees of thrust can be provided to the vehicle in a unit of time. By controlling the duration of valve opening, the duration of thrust can be determined. In this way, optimized tire exhaust solutions can be provided for different vehicles in different scenarios according to actual needs.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the tire exhaust module is further used to receive a tire inflation instruction sent by the information processing module, and inflate at least one tire of the vehicle according to the tire inflation instruction.

[0014] After the vehicle is out of the water environment by exhausting the tire, the tire lacking air may not be able to meet the driving needs of the vehicle. The reusable tire exhaust module can be used to easily re-inflate the tire to meet the driving needs of the vehicle.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, generating at least one control instruction based on the wading information includes: generating different control instructions based on a comparison result of the wading information and a preset wading level; wherein the preset wading level includes at least one of the wading height reaching half of the wheel height, the wading height reaching half of the vehicle body height, the wading height reaching three quarters of the vehicle body height, and the wading height being greater than the vehicle body height.

[0016] By pre-setting multiple wading levels, quantitative indicators can be established to accurately judge the severity of the event represented by the vehicle's current wading information. On this basis, different control instructions can be flexibly formulated for different wading levels, ensuring the rationality and efficiency of the control instructions.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, at least one control instruction is generated based on the water wading information, including at least one of the following: if the water wading information indicates that the vehicle's wading height is a first water wading level, a message reminder instruction is generated; if the water wading information indicates that the vehicle's wading height is a second water wading level, an information interaction instruction is generated; if the water wading information indicates that the vehicle's wading height is a third water wading level, a tire exhaust instruction is generated; if the water wading information indicates that the vehicle's wading height is a fourth water wading level, an emergency instruction is generated.

[0018] Different wading levels can reflect the current criticality of the vehicle, which is conducive to the information processing module to generate corresponding control instructions in a timely and accurate manner. According to different control instructions matching different wading levels, it can send warning information to the user and instruct the tire exhaust module to perform tire exhaust actions.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the system also includes: a propeller module, which is used to receive the water movement instruction sent by the information processing module, and rotate the propeller installed on the vehicle according to the water movement instruction, so that the vehicle obtains power to move in the water on the road.

[0020] By controlling the propeller installed on the vehicle, the water flooding self-rescue system can also provide the vehicle with power to move in water on the road, thereby helping the vehicle to better escape from the water environment.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the propeller is installed on the bottom of the vehicle, and the propeller installed on the vehicle is rotated according to the water movement instruction: according to the water movement instruction, the propeller is expanded from a state of being horizontally close to the bottom of the vehicle to a state of being perpendicular to the bottom of the vehicle; and the propeller is controlled to rotate forward or reverse.

[0022] The propeller is attached horizontally to the bottom of the vehicle by default to avoid increasing the resistance of the vehicle during normal driving. The deployed propeller can rotate in both forward and reverse directions, allowing the vehicle to leave the current flooded area from different directions.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, the system further includes: an airbag module, configured to receive a buoyancy instruction sent by the information processing module, and inflate an airbag installed on the vehicle according to the buoyancy instruction, so that the vehicle obtains buoyancy in the road water.

[0024] By controlling the airbags installed on the vehicle, the water flooding self-rescue system can also provide buoyancy for the vehicle in water on the road, thereby helping the vehicle to better escape from the water environment.

[0025] In an optional implementation, the information processing module is further configured to generate a target instruction in response to an input instruction from a user; and send the target instruction to the tire exhaust module.

[0026] The user can transmit data to the information processing module. In this way, the user can manually activate one or more of the vehicle's tire deflation function, propeller rotation function, and airbag inflation function, so that the vehicle can efficiently escape from the flooded area. At the same time, the user can decide when to activate different functional modules in the flood self-rescue system, which increases the flexibility of the flood self-rescue system.

[0027] Another aspect of the present disclosure further provides a vehicle, which is equipped with the flooding self-rescue system provided by any of the above-mentioned embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0038] See also Figure 1 An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a water flooding self-rescue system, which can be applied to a vehicle. The water flooding self-rescue system may include a water level detection module, an information processing module and a tire exhaust module.

[0039] Among them, the water level detection module is used to obtain the water wading information of the vehicle and send the water wading information to the information processing module; the information processing module is used to receive the water wading information and generate at least one control instruction according to the water wading information; the tire exhaust module is used to receive the tire exhaust instruction sent by the information processing module, and according to the tire exhaust instruction, exhaust the tire gas of at least one tire of the vehicle, so that the vehicle obtains the thrust to get out of the water on the road.

[0040] In this embodiment, a water level detection module can be installed on the body of the car. The water level detection module can be implemented by a water level sensing sensor, for example, one or more of a pressure type water level sensor, a capacitive type water level sensor, an ultrasonic water level sensor, a microwave water level sensor, etc. can be selected to implement it. When the vehicle enters a flooded area, the water level sensor installed on the body of the car can be automatically triggered to send the vehicle's wading information to the information processing module on the vehicle.

[0041] For a practical example, see Figure 2 The water level sensor of the car is located on the outside of the car body and can fit perfectly with the car body. Figure 2 The dotted lines in the figure can represent water level height lines at different locations. The water level sensor can correctly sense the height information of the water level and form the wading information of the vehicle. The wading information collected by the water level sensor can be transmitted to the information processing module for subsequent data analysis and processing.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the vehicle enters a flooded area, the information processing module can generate effective control instructions based on the water wading information. According to the water level value information of the current location of the vehicle, the information processing module can generate different types of control instructions.

[0043] In some embodiments, generating at least one control instruction based on the wading information includes: generating different control instructions based on a comparison result of the wading information and a preset wading level; wherein the preset wading level includes at least one of the wading height reaching half of the wheel height, the wading height reaching half of the vehicle body height, the wading height reaching three quarters of the vehicle body height, and the wading height being greater than the vehicle body height.

[0044] By pre-setting multiple wading levels, quantitative indicators can be established to accurately judge the severity of the event represented by the vehicle's current wading information. On this basis, different control instructions can be flexibly formulated for different wading levels, ensuring the rationality and efficiency of the control instructions.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least one control instruction is generated based on the water wading information, including at least one of the following: if the water wading information indicates that the vehicle's wading height is a first water wading level, a message reminder instruction is generated; if the water wading information indicates that the vehicle's wading height is a second water wading level, an information interaction instruction is generated; if the water wading information indicates that the vehicle's wading height is a third water wading level, a tire exhaust instruction is generated; if the water wading information indicates that the vehicle's wading height is a fourth water wading level, an emergency instruction is generated.

[0046] Specifically, the first wading level may indicate that the vehicle is not deeply immersed in water, for example, the wading height does not reach half the height of the wheels. Accordingly, the message reminder instruction may indicate that only some reminder information is sent to the user, such as voice reminder, text reminder, vibration reminder, etc.

[0047] The second wading level may indicate that the vehicle's immersion depth is relatively high, for example, the wading height reaches half the height of the vehicle body. Accordingly, the information interaction instruction may indicate that only some reminder information (such as voice reminders, text reminders, vibration reminders) is sent to the user while waiting for the user's feedback information. After receiving the user's feedback information, a tire exhaust instruction may be sent to the tire exhaust module. It should be noted that an exhaust preparation mode may be implemented through the information interaction instruction. In this mode, a reminder may be issued to the user first, and then the user may be waited to feedback a clear exhaust start instruction to the information processing module. According to the exhaust start instruction, the information processing module may issue a tire exhaust instruction to instruct the tire exhaust module to perform the exhaust action.

[0048] The third wading level may indicate that the vehicle is very deep in water, for example, the wading height reaches three quarters of the vehicle body height. Accordingly, the information processing module may directly send the tire exhaust instruction to the tire exhaust module, so that the tire exhaust module directly performs the exhaust action. In this way, the user confirmation process is eliminated, and the execution efficiency of the tire exhaust function is improved.

[0049] The fourth wading level may indicate that the vehicle is about to be or has been submerged in water, for example, the wading height is greater than the vehicle body height. Accordingly, the emergency instruction may indicate taking some preset emergency measures, such as automatic alarm, cutting off the power supply of some vehicle components, etc.

[0050] Different wading levels can reflect the current criticality of the vehicle, which is conducive to the information processing module to generate corresponding control instructions in a timely and accurate manner. According to different control instructions matching different wading levels, it can send warning information to the user and instruct the tire exhaust module to perform tire exhaust actions.

[0051] In this embodiment, the tire exhaust module can exhaust the tire gas of the vehicle, so that the vehicle can obtain thrust to escape from the water on the road, which helps the vehicle to easily escape from the current water environment.

[0052] In some embodiments, the tire exhaust module includes a controllable three-way valve, a module exhaust port, a module inflation port and a tire air port; the module exhaust port is connected to the controllable three-way valve, and is used to discharge the first gas in the internal space of the controllable three-way valve, so that the vehicle obtains the thrust to escape from the road water; the module inflation port is connected to the controllable three-way valve, and is used to supplement the internal space of the controllable three-way valve with a second gas, and the second gas is used to inflate the tire; the tire air port is connected to the controllable three-way valve, and is used for gas interaction between the tire and the internal space of the controllable three-way valve.

[0053] Optionally, the tire air port can be a default inflation port of the tire or a dedicated air valve of the tire. If the tire air port is the default inflation port of the tire, the deflation capacity of the default inflation port of the tire needs to meet the requirement of forming thrust. If the tire air port is a dedicated air valve of the tire, the size of the dedicated air valve can be customized, so that the purpose of rapid deflation can be met when the tire is deflated.

[0054] For a practical example, see Figure 3 The controllable three-way valve has three channels, and each channel has a valve that can be controlled by the program. The three channels of the controllable three-way valve can be connected to the module exhaust port, the module inflation port and the tire air port respectively. Figure 3 The first valve in the module is opened, the first valve is closed, and the third valve is opened. At this time, the gas in the tire can pass through the third valve and the first valve and be discharged from the module exhaust port. Figure 3 The first valve in the module is closed, and the second valve and the third valve are both opened. At this time, the gas generated by the module inflation port can pass through the second valve and the third valve to inflate the tire. It should be noted that since the second valve is connected to the module inflation port, when the second valve and the third valve are both opened, the gas in the tire will not be discharged outward after passing through the second valve.

[0055] For a practical example, see Figure 4 The module exhaust port of the tire exhaust module can have a one-way door structure so that gas can only be discharged but not entered.

[0056] For a practical example, see Figure 5 The module exhaust port of the tire exhaust module can be a gas exhaust port located next to the tire, with the outlet facing the ground. A car usually has four tires, and there can be a module exhaust port around each tire. When the tire exhaust module exhausts the tire according to the exhaust control instruction, the exhausted tire gas can be discharged downward from the four module exhaust ports at the bottom of the car, giving the car an upward thrust to get out of the water. In this way, the body of the car can leave the bottom of the water to prevent the car from being covered by water.

[0057] The setting of the controllable three-way valve, the module exhaust port and the module outlet port not only ensures the controllability and stability of the tire exhaust process, but also ensures that the exhausted tire can be easily re-inflated, thereby quickly restoring normal road driving function.

[0058] In some embodiments, discharging tire gas from at least one tire of the vehicle includes: closing the second valve of the controllable three-way valve connected to the module inflation port; after closing the second valve, opening the third valve of the controllable three-way valve connected to the tire air port; after opening the third valve, opening the first valve of the controllable three-way valve connected to the module deflation port.

[0059] Orderly execution of the opening or closing of different valves in the three-way valve can ensure the accurate execution of the tire exhaust action and improve the stability of the tire exhaust function.

[0060] It should be noted that during the exhaust process of the vehicle, it is strictly forbidden to close the first valve, open the third valve, and then open the second valve. Otherwise, incorrect exhaust may occur, causing the vehicle to fall into the water at an accelerated speed.

[0061] In some embodiments, discharging tire gas from at least one tire of the vehicle according to the tire exhaust instruction includes at least one of the following: controlling the valve opening degree of the controllable three-way valve according to the tire exhaust instruction to discharge tire gas from at least one tire of the vehicle; controlling the valve opening duration of the controllable three-way valve according to the tire exhaust instruction to discharge tire gas from at least one tire of the vehicle.

[0062] Specifically, by controlling the valve opening degree and the valve opening time, at least two tire deflation modes, half-open deflation and full-open deflation, can be formed. In half-open deflation, the valve opening degree of the controllable three-way valve is small, the tire deflation time is longer, and the thrust generated is relatively small. In full-open deflation, the valve opening degree of the controllable three-way valve is large, the tire deflation time is shorter, but it can give the car body a large upward thrust in a short time. In actual application scenarios, more levels of deflation methods can be formed by adjusting the valve opening degree of each valve and the valve opening time of each valve.

[0063] In a practical application example, there are many ways to exhaust the tire, and the final results are also many. For example, after some exhaust methods, the remaining gas in the tire can continue to maintain the unimpeded driving of the wheel due to the relatively short gas exhaust time. For another example, after some exhaust methods, the tire gas is completely exhausted, which may affect the driving ability of the wheel. The thrust provided by the tire exhaust to the vehicle body is related to the valve opening degree of the controllable three-way valve. The remaining gas in the tire after the tire is exhausted is related to both the valve opening degree of the controllable three-way valve and the valve opening time of the controllable three-way valve. Therefore, the opening parameters of each valve need to be continuously trained or optimized to obtain a suitable value.

[0064] By controlling the degree of valve opening, different degrees of thrust can be provided to the vehicle in a unit of time. By controlling the duration of valve opening, the duration of thrust can be determined. In this way, optimized tire exhaust solutions can be provided for different vehicles in different scenarios according to actual needs.

[0065] In some embodiments, the tire inflation module is further configured to receive a tire inflation instruction sent by the information processing module, and to inflate at least one tire of the vehicle according to the tire inflation instruction.

[0066] Specifically, when inflating at least one of the tires of the vehicle, the first valve of the controllable three-way valve connected to the deflation port of the module can be closed first; after closing the first valve, the second valve of the controllable three-way valve connected to the inflation port of the module can be opened; after opening the second valve, the third valve of the controllable three-way valve connected to the tire air port can be opened.

[0067] After the vehicle is out of the water environment by exhausting the tire, the tire lacking air may not be able to meet the driving needs of the vehicle. The reusable tire exhaust module can be used to easily re-inflate the tire to meet the driving needs of the vehicle.

[0068] In some embodiments, the flooding self-rescue system also includes: a propeller module, which is used to receive the water movement instruction sent by the information processing module, and rotate the propeller installed on the vehicle according to the water movement instruction, so that the vehicle obtains power to move in the water on the road.

[0069] By controlling the propeller installed on the vehicle, the flood self-rescue system can also provide the vehicle with power to move in the water on the road, so as to help the vehicle better escape from the water environment. For example, when the vehicle is in a puddle, once the tire exhaust leaves the bottom of the puddle, the propeller is controlled to provide the vehicle with a horizontal power, which can help the vehicle quickly escape from the puddle area.

[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , the propeller is installed at the bottom of the vehicle, and according to the water body movement instruction, the propeller installed on the vehicle is rotated; according to the water body movement instruction, the propeller is unfolded from a state of being horizontally close to the bottom of the vehicle to a state of being perpendicular to the bottom of the vehicle; and the propeller is controlled to rotate forward or reverse.

[0071] The propeller is attached horizontally to the bottom of the vehicle by default to avoid increasing the resistance of the vehicle during normal driving. The deployed propeller can rotate in both forward and reverse directions, allowing the vehicle to leave the current flooded area from different directions.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The flooding self-rescue system also includes: an airbag module, which is used to receive the buoyancy instruction sent by the information processing module, and inflate the airbag installed on the vehicle according to the buoyancy instruction, so that the vehicle can obtain buoyancy in the water on the road.

[0073] Specifically, the airbag can be installed at a position under the vehicle. When the vehicle is in normal driving state, the airbag is in an airless mode. When the vehicle body is submerged in water to a certain extent, the airbag begins to inflate automatically. After the airbag is filled with air, it can provide buoyancy for the vehicle. The airbags installed at the bottom of the vehicle can be arranged in a ring, or a single airbag can be installed at a single position, and multiple airbags can be placed at multiple positions. Here, the distribution of the airbags at the bottom of the vehicle is not specifically limited. The inflation method of the airbag can be set individually, and an aircraft-style safety airbag inflation method can be used. Generally, tire gas is not used to inflate the airbag.

[0074] By controlling the airbags installed on the vehicle, the water flooding self-rescue system can also provide buoyancy for the vehicle in water on the road, thereby helping the vehicle to better escape from the water environment.

[0075] In some embodiments, in response to the user's input instruction, the information processing module is further used to generate a target instruction in response to the user's input instruction; and send the target instruction to the tire exhaust module. Optionally, the information processing module can also send the target instruction to the propeller module. Optionally, the information processing module can also send the target instruction to the airbag module.

[0076] Specifically, the user can communicate with the information processing module through the vehicle application or the mobile device carried by the user, and transmit data to the information processing module. In this way, the user can manually start one or more of the vehicle's tire deflation function, propeller rotation function, and airbag inflation function, so that the vehicle can efficiently escape from the flooded area. At the same time, the user can decide when to start the different functional modules in the flooded self-rescue system, which increases the flexibility of the flooded self-rescue system. For example, the user can adjust the start time of different modules, the open state of the controllable three-way valve, the open time of the controllable three-way valve, etc.

[0077] In a practical application example, the user can input some control parameters into the information processing module to generate target control instructions. These control parameters can be pre-trained to obtain a suitable value. During the training of the control parameters, the vehicle attribute information such as the vehicle weight and body shape can be referred to, and the corresponding optimized control parameters can be generated for each specific car. The control parameters can specify the functional modules of the flooded self-rescue system that need to be activated under different water level conditions. The control parameters can also specify the action modes of different functional modules in the flooded self-rescue system. For example, the control parameters can specify the opening degree and opening time of the controllable three-way valve in the tire exhaust module. For another example, the control parameters can determine how long after the tire is exhausted, the propeller is turned on so that the vehicle body starts to move forward and backward. In this way, it can be ensured that the propeller is turned on after the vehicle body leaves the bottom. The final training result of the control parameters enables the flooded self-rescue system to have a specific execution plan for the user when the vehicle is at different water depths.

[0078] See also Figure 8 The flood self-rescue system provided by one embodiment of the present disclosure includes at least a water level detection module, an information processing module, a tire exhaust module and a propeller module. The information processing module can interact with the user and receive control data input or selected by the user. The information processing module can extract control parameters from the control data and determine control instructions for the tire exhaust module and the propeller module in combination with the vehicle wading information reported by the water level detection module.

[0079] In a practical application example, after the water level detection module of the car obtains the water level information, the water level information can be sent to the information processing module. The information processing module can determine different control instructions and control different functional modules according to different water level information. For example, the tire control instruction can control the controllable three-way valve of the tire exhaust module to determine the tire exhaust mode; the propeller control instruction can control the rotation direction of the propeller module. Based on the reaction force generated by the tire exhaust module discharging tire gas, the car can obtain the thrust to escape from the bottom of the puddle. Based on the rotation of the propeller, the car can obtain the moving force in the water body. Through the joint action of the tire exhaust module and the propeller module, the car can escape from the deeper water area and reach a safe location.

[0080] The flood self-rescue system provided by one or more factual methods of the present disclosure can accurately sense the depth of the vehicle entering the water by using a water level detection module. When the vehicle enters a flooded area, the information processing module can generate effective control instructions based on the wading information. According to the tire exhaust instruction sent by the information processing module, the tire exhaust module can exhaust the tire gas of the vehicle, so that the vehicle can obtain thrust to escape from the road water, which helps the vehicle to easily escape from the current water environment.

[0081] In actual application scenarios, when some roads are seriously flooded, it may be difficult for cars to get out of the water after entering, which may endanger the personal safety of people in the car. The flood self-rescue system provided by one or more of the facts and methods of the present disclosure can provide assistance for vehicles in the flooded area to escape from the water environment, thereby ensuring the personal safety of people in the car.

[0082] It is worth noting that the deflation effect of car tires and whether it can push a car in water have been verified by experiments. The thrust generated by tire deflation can generally push the car body away from the bottom of the water. When the car is placed in the water and no water is allowed to enter the interior of the car, the thrust generated by the deflation of the tires can push the car. In addition, even if water enters the interior of the car, the gravity of the car in the water will be greatly reduced, and a certain degree of thrust (for example, a thrust of 100 Newtons) can also make the car body leave the bottom of the water.

[0083] The present disclosure also provides a vehicle, which is equipped with the flooding self-rescue system provided by any of the above-mentioned embodiments.
